ace 


alliance between women and portraiture, close as it 
(r} has been in all ages since first the art of portrayal was 
employed, ought not to be set down as wholly an affair 
of vanity. Doubtless there be feminine Narcissus’; but may not 
benevolence have somewhat to do with beauty’s desire to secure 
for a larger audience a more enduring impression of itself than 
the one fleetingly mirrored in a cheval glass ? 

Artists have been the most potent factor in stimulating 
woman’s penchant for painted semblances of her charms, the 
guild having dedicated the highest qualities of its art to the 
service of perpetuating her loveliness. In these later times 
photography also has added its beguilements, and on every side 
it offers opportunities for seeing ourselves as others see us, or 
more properly, for seeing ourselves as we hope others see us— 
the subtle art of practical flattery being not unknown to the 
manipulators of cameras. 

Vogue at the beginning of its career conceived the idea of 



publishing, as one of its principal features, portraits of some of 
the attractive women who adorn the social life of our foremost 
cities. 

In pursuance of this purpose for nearly two years a succes¬ 
sion of beauty portraits has been given as charming a presenta¬ 
tion as the ability of American decorative artists and the skill 
of American printers made attainable. 

The unique collection of artistically rendered pictures of 
representative American Society women here presented is the 
outcome of Vogue’s beauty portraits. Photography has rarely, 
if ever, been so generously aided by art and liberal money 
expenditure.
